The Era of Hard Work

In the huge villa yard, an old woman with gray hair stood in the open vegetable field, picking cucumbers with a basket.

On the cucumber rack in the vegetable field, there is a red radio hanging.

"On August 9, 2019, the radio station in Qingzhao District will continue to broadcast the news for you. Just yesterday afternoon, Fortune Chinese Network's top 500 national enterprises were released. Two enterprises in our district were on the list, and the top ranked was 29th. Lu's Holding Group Co., Ltd. ranked No. 59 and Lujiacun Group Co., Ltd. No. 59. This is the sixth consecutive year that Lu's Holding Group has entered the top 50, and the Lujiacun Group has entered the top 100 for ten consecutive years..."

Hearing this, Hu Chunlan raised her head. From Lujiacun New Village to the south and west, it was full of high-rise buildings, and the previous fields had long been replaced by residential quarters and business centers.

The area of ​​Ningxiu Street in Qingzhao District bordered on the University City in 2010 and became part of the urban area.

Life changes every year for the better!

"Grandma! Grandma!"

A teenage boy ran to the yard and found Hu Chunlan, who was busy working in the vegetable field, and said, "My dad said that he won't come to eat at noon. There will be a meeting in the village at eleven o'clock, and we will have a working meal in the village."

This child is tall and strong like Lu Dong, with delicate features like Song Na.

Hu Chunlan asked, "Lu Yang, where's your mother?"

Lu Yang took a cucumber from the basket: "She's in a company meeting!"

A fair and pretty girl came in from the door: "Grandma Lan, my dad is also going to a meeting."

Lu Yang took another cucumber and gave it to the girl: "Li Miaomiao, I'll give you one."

"Miaomiao, your grandparents are not at home, so we eat here at noon." Hu Chunlan went to pick tomatoes again, and asked her grandson and Wenyue's daughter next door: "Didn't you say why the meeting?"

Lu Yang said carelessly, "I didn't ask."

Li Miaomiao said: "I asked Lan Langu, who works in the branch, and she said that Uncle Dong asked to be on guard..."

Three people were talking, and the radio news broadcast something related to it.

"The Taidong Meteorological Observatory predicts that Typhoon Lekima will land in the southeastern part of the peninsula on the evening of the 11th and gradually move to the northeast. Affected by it, from the night of the 11th to the 14th, Daocheng, Kite City, Linzi and Quannan There will be torrential rain and heavy rain in prefectures and cities, and there will be extreme torrential rain in some areas..."

…………

At the same time, more than a dozen people gathered in the meeting room of the village branch of Lujia Village, and the latest weather forecast was being played on the giant LCD screen at the front of the meeting room.

Standing at the front of the long conference table, Lv Dong was in good shape although he was nearly forty years old, except for a few strands of gray hair on his temples.

"The disaster caused by Lichma has been played out on the news these days." Lu Dong's voice was loud and resonant: "Taidong will come soon, come to Qingzhao, we must be prepared."

These words made Li Wenyue, who was sitting on Lu Dong's left, think of the flood in the summer of 1998, twenty-one years ago, that almost killed Lu's village.

Li Hongxing on the right said, "Can it compare to 98?"

Lu Dong said: "Preparation is safe."

In fact, the torrential rain mentioned in the weather forecast once fell on Qingzhao and the upper reaches of Qingzhao River.

Lu Dong began to assign work: "Wen Yue, you are in charge of contacting your superiors. You must keep the communication channels smooth and be able to report the situation to the district government and the city government as soon as possible."

"Red Star, from now on, all the stored sand and gravel will be transported to the material storage place under the river embankment, and other woven bags, large packaging bags, and various disaster-resistance tools are all ready!"

"Nail, you are in charge of construction machinery. Cranes, trucks, forklifts and forklifts are on standby under the embankment as planned before the evening of the 11th!"

"Lu Kun, immediately organize a river embankment patrol team, and start patrolling ashore at night on the 11th!"

"Lan Lan, you are responsible for the publicity. Prepare the broadcast in the afternoon, mobilize the villagers to stand by, and post notices on the bulletin boards everywhere!"

The various tasks were arranged, and they were discussed and perfected during lunch, and they began to be busy in the afternoon.

In recent years, although there have been no major floods, there have been several times when the river swelled in summer. Lu Dong specially set up a drought and flood relief team in Lujia Village, which has some practical experience.

After the anti-disaster preparation meeting, Lu Dong personally made phone calls with Ningxiu Street and Qingzhao District Governments to discuss specific tasks.

Going home for dinner at night, Song Na came back from the company, looked at Lu Dong who kept sending messages in the WeChat group, and said, "The flood as big as 1998 has been overcome. This is a typhoon."

Lu Dong put down his smartphone and said the same thing: "No matter how heavy the rain is, it is always right to be prepared."

Song Na looked at her son who was about to sneak out after eating, and said, "Don't just play around, come back and do your homework."

Lu Yang said with a bitter face, "I'm going to find Miaomiao, and I don't want to go anywhere else."

Song Na waved her hand, and Lu Yang dared to go out.

Lu Dong said: "You are too strict, Lu Yang will be afraid of you when he sees you."

"It's okay to be strict? He hasn't gone to heaven yet."

In this family, Lu Dong is a loving father who only plays with his nephew and son. Song Na can only be a strict mother: "Just play all day, so you won't become a scumbag in the future?"

Lu Dong had nothing to say for a moment, and lowered his head to eat.

"Yes, boys have to be controlled more strictly!" Hu Chunlan has always stood in the same camp as her daughter-in-law: "To put it bluntly, our family is rich and powerful now, if we don't care about it strictly, it will easily become a disaster in the future."

Perhaps thinking that she should not be called a scumbag, Song Na gently touched Lu Dong with her foot under the dining table, and when he looked over, she smiled slightly.

Song Na is almost forty, but she is well maintained, and looks like she is in her late thirties.

The weather forecast was not particularly accurate, or no one expected that the Lichma was coming in a menacing manner, and it was still powerful when it went north to Taidong.

From noon on August 11, Qingzhao began to rain heavily. During the period, it escalated into heavy rain several times, and the water seemed to be pouring from the sky.

The reservoirs in Qingzhao District have already drained water one after another. Before the arrival of Li Qima, the water level was lowered to the lowest level, but it still couldn't withstand the water flowing from all directions.

Heavy rain, heavy rain and heavy rain alternated, and it lasted for more than 20 hours. By the afternoon of the 12th, it finally stabilized on the moderate to heavy rain.

However, the reservoirs were in a hurry, and the water flow soon exceeded the warning water level, and it continued to rise.

The reservoir can only release floods, and the Qingzhao River surged. On the morning of the 13th, the river in Lujia Village rose to less than two meters from the embankment.

In the past few years, led by Lujia Village, the embankment of Qingzhao River has been continuously heightened and reinforced. If it is still an old embankment, it will not be able to last until this time.

Lu Dong casually put on a red raincoat, and walked on the embankment in the Lujia Village section, personally inspecting the conditions of the embankments in various places.

Lu Kun, who was in charge of the river embankment patrol, ran over: "Brother Dong."

Lu Dong nodded, and warned: "You must keep an eye on it all the time, and you must not relax! Don't think that the river embankment is made of stones, so there is no danger!"

The embankments in the Lujiacun section are all stone embankments more than three meters wide.

The S-bend section of the river is most severely eroded by the river. On the spacious asphalt road under the river embankment, the crane lowers the support frame, and the ton bag filled with gravel is placed on the edge of the river embankment. If there is any danger in any place, immediately It can put down the big bag to block the opening.

Tens of meters further ahead, five forklifts were on standby, and bags of gravel were piled up on the raft in front of the forklifts.

A truck full of gravel and an excavator whose wheels are as tall as a person are also on standby nearby.

There is more than one such combination, but each 100-meter section has an allocation.

No matter how dangerous it is, there is no need for people to carry it on their shoulders. The mechanized operation of just one section can support hundreds of people in the summer of 1998.

If there is a breach in the embankment, a truck with a load of tens of tons can rush directly under the embankment and use the sand and gravel on the vehicle body to block the opening.

Arriving at the last S bay, Li Wenyue was standing on the triangular dam, looking at the tumbling torrent under his feet, and said, "This time the flood is bigger than in 1998."

As the rain gradually subsided, Lu Dong took off his raincoat and hat: "If the embankment was in 1998, it would have collapsed by this time."

Li Wenyue said: "After all, our economic conditions are better, and we have money and equipment to fight against disasters!"

Lu Dong laughed: "The future will only get better and better!"

Lichma in 2019 brought serious natural disasters and direct economic losses of more than 15 billion yuan, but Lujia Village survived without any danger.

The miracle of Lu's Village is still going on, and the market gradually has the words of Lu's in South China and Northwest.

(End of the book)

This book is written here, even if it is finished.

First of all, I would like to thank all book friends for their support and for your company along the way.

Secondly, the completion of this book is somewhat affected by my physical condition, which is what happened last month. It's so embarrassing!

I ate fried grasshoppers, and the grasshopper legs got stuck in my throat. It was so unlucky. The place where I got stuck was the tonsil, which caused severe inflammation. I went to the hospital to see it. After seeing it, it was good and bad. I have never had surgery since I was a child. I have seen several times The doctors in the hospital said that the tonsils began to proliferate due to inflammation, and it was suggested to cut them off as soon as possible to prevent disease.

When I thought about having an operation, I panicked and kept procrastinating. There was no solution. If the situation allowed, I might have an operation this month.

Surgery also has its advantages. The doctor said that after the operation, you can lose about 20 pounds without eating for a period of time.

I can lose weight.

Then there's the new book. I've thought about a few topics, but haven't made a decision yet. I don't want to think about it recently. I'll look at the condition of my throat first. I'll talk about the new book after my tonsils are healed.

Finally, I wish all book friends good health and wealth.
